As the people in the story of Jesus’ birth are transformed by God’s salvation, we are also challenged to receive his salvation.

This four-day devotional will remind us that everyone has a role in God’s story.

From his birth to his death, John the Baptist lived in the shadows of Jesus. But fulfilled his ministry and pleased the Lord. This devotional is an amended extract from an upcoming book by Jean Kabasomi.
